Okay, I think my 1 year old is ready for TT. She has a dry nappy for at least 2 hours and poops are predictable as they often at the same time each day.
What advice do you have to encourage TT?

You'd be setting yourself up for a lot of work, i have no tips i wouldn't even know where to start at that age ..hopefully someone else will have an idea

We are TT our one year old now.
Heaps of nappy free time.
She wears training pants after her nap for the rest of the day.
Whenever I go to the toilet I sit her on her potty (we call it a toilet). At first always with a nappy on, now we take it off.
Just don't push it, take it really slow and easy!
Posted 10 December 2012 - 08:53 PM
Get a potty and incorporate it into daily routines (I started with bath time at around 11 months with my first, younger with the next ones). You'll know when she's made the connection - one of mine started going in the potty every time he was sat on it, then after a month he finally asked for it. The next one just demanded the potty one day and never wore a nappy again.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 04:01 PM
One if the best indicators of TT readiness is telling you when they have done, or about to do a wee or a poo. If bub doesn't have an awareness of that, it will be a long, messy process.
My experience is with DS#1 - I thought well how would he know because the nappies keep them feeling so dry, so I just introduced the idea and it took 9months! for him to be trained - and that was with 2 pooey underpants a day. He was 3.5yrs in the end.
DS#2 was ready around 18 months but I wasn't after the trauma of training DS#1, but when we did he was trained within a month.
DD we have just trained her at 26months. It took 2 days because she was already coming up and holding her nappy and telling me "poo" or "wee".
I would also suggest taking it slow and easy - no pressure.
TBH at 12months if the nappy is dry for 2 hours I would be wondering if bub is adequately hydrated more than that bub is ready for TT.

Just make it a casual calm thing and have low expectations. She is only 1
Posted 13 December 2012 - 04:13 PM
You could always look up Elimination Communication for some ideas. I haven't done it but some people swear by it.
I looked after a little girl at at daycare who was full toilet trained by the time she was 18 months old so it is possible. However, most of the children I looked after toilet trained around the the 2.5 to 3 year mark.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 04:18 PM
I wouldn't bother personally.
DD is 20months and she gets me a nappy and says 'wee wee' or 'pooey' when she needs to be changed. She knows when she is about to go too. I still don't think she's ready for toilet training.
I'm going to even attempt it until she is at least 2.5.
If you must TT her already then I agree with this:
Just make it a casual calm thing and have low expectations. She is only 1
Posted 13 December 2012 - 04:51 PM
Look up elimination communication, I have done this with DS from about 8 weeks but you can start anytime. I am TTing DS properly now, he is 18 months and it has been really easy, we're about 1.5 weeks in with no nappies or training pants just commando and he has a few accidents every now and then but mostly he's fine. He either tells me he needs to go or goes when I take him like before we go out or it's been a while and take him.
I think it has been so stress free because of the EC we have done, he was already able to tell me either before or after he needed to go and was very familiar with the potty and toilet and understood what they were for. We aren't doing night time training but he has already nap trained himself, refuses to wear nappies at nap time and has been dry for a week. Last night his night nappy only had one small wee in it in the morning so I suspect he might night train himself quite quickly.
If you want to start now I say go for it! If she is under 18 months I'd start with some EC, if older just go straight for normal potty training. There is quite a lot of info for free on the web on EC, I found this eBook really good too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zEpAOgYnqM
I used this eBook for the recent potty training we've done, it followed on from the EC really well http://www.jamieglowacki.com/
Posted 19 December 2012 - 05:25 PM
I think you're a bit nuts to even consider it (said in the nicest possible way).
My son is 4 months older than yours and there is no way he's anywhere near ready to be TT. He's a baby. Actually I've just trained his 2.5yo sister.
To me, TT means kids are able to get to the potty or toilet, pull down their pants, do their business, wipe, pull up pants, etc.
I think you're setting yourself up for a long messy road. My opinion only though! All the best if you do it
Posted 19 December 2012 - 05:50 PM
I was reading some studies looking at the history of toilet training and it seems that with the advent of hot water on tap, washing machines and later disposable nappies the effort required to keep a kid in nappies has dropped massively with a corresponding delay in the time that kids are toilet trained. A few generations ago I suspect no one would have batted an eye lid at your plan. Certainly all the evidence I've looked at suggests the earlier you start TT the earlier it's completed. Personally If you're up for it, I'd have no issues giving it a go. I hate nappies and are willing to go through a lot to get rid of them and certainly don't understand the culture of waiting for a kid to say it wants out of nappies/to use the toilet before considering it 'ready' and then expecting it to be sorted in a couple of days. The advice I was given is that a kid who stays dry through their nap is capable of TT. Go slow with it and back off if it's causing issues. My MIL had her sons trained very early using a potty chair as they routinely pooped after meals and just learn to go that way. If your DD has a pooping routine it sounds an easy place to start and if you get her so youre not changing poopy nappies that's awesome.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 05:56 PM
That's not toilet-training - that's just predicting and catching the mess before it happens. I'd probably be waiting at least until after the age of 2 before actively doing anything.

To me, TT means kids are able to get to the potty or toilet, pull down their pants, do their business, wipe, pull up pants, etc.
I disagree with this, but then it's all about expectations. To me, TT means reliably able to tell me they need to go - if it was a nappy, I'd still have to strip them down to change, so what difference does that make? The youngest of my children to achieve this was 20 months. My #3 is not quite 3.5 and we are completely nappy free.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 06:08 PM
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention another forum, but are you on babycenter?
On the US version there's a fabulous group called something like Toilet training your baby, and in the sticky they have so many good ideas on how to implement toilet training. My bub is 11 months, and once she's able to walk I think we'll be giving it a go as well.
The girls there are really supportive, there's journals to read about other toilet training experiences, and alot of helpful links. Some of the stuff there is so simple, but really helpful. My sister in law is toilet training her 3 year old and that sounds like alot more work psychologically than the younger babies that feature in the group.
My understanding is that it's easier if the child can walk and say/sign that they need to go to the toilet.
Good luck!
Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:53 AM
Thanks everyone. So far DD is able to tell me when she's about to do a poo so I can get her to the toilet on time. I figured i'd start with the poos and work my way over to the wees then tackle night time toilet training later.
While I get everyone's opinions of what toilet training is, even if it's just catching the wees and poos in the toilet instead of the nappy using elimination communication, surely, that's just as effective as TT at 2.5? they learn as time goes thats where they do their business.
It hasn't been hard. She doesn't get upset being on the toliet. I take her to it when she wants to poo, and after eating breakfast/lunch/dinner which instead of using 4-5 nappies a day I am down to 2-3 nappies a day. its not much of my time to sit her on the loo for between 5-10 minutes. we just sit there read a book, sing a song, play a game until she goes. If she was really upset, I'd just not bother at all, but she's happy enough to sit there.
Thanks for the info on the other forum. I'll have a look over there!

What are you doing for your gift recipients this holiday season?
In cubicles and corner offices around the e-tailing world, eager marketers and merchandisers are cranking up for the 2008 holiday season, with visions of plump virtual shopping carts dancing in their heads.
Meanwhile, shoppers go about their lives. Time ticks. The burden of seasonal shopping grows bigger as the number of shopping days until Christmas gets smaller.
Each year the season seems to start earlier. Shoppers are faced with more choices than ever, and online retailers are getting savvier, offering better wares and new technologies all designed to increase sales, average order values, and conversion rates.
How can you get a leg up on competitors? How can you ensure visitors buy from you and not the guys and gals on the domain just a few clicks away?
One powerful tactic is the return/exchange policy point-of-action (POA) assurance.
With current economy concerns, gift buyers are likely to be more frugal than they were in 2006, and online retailers must address that reality.
POA Basics
Offline, returns and exchanges are of lesser concern to shoppers. They can simply take their purchases back to the store they bought them from. Many retailers even offer gift receipts so recipients can take the merchandise back and exchange it.
Online, the gift exchange/return process looms more ominously in shoppers' minds. What if shoppers must return or exchange orders? What do gift receivers do? How about gift givers: Where do they go? How fast will they get a refund? Return-shipping costs, shipping hassles, price-matching concerns, and other questions hover like conversion-rate-chomping gremlins, threatening to devour your sales. Online retailers must resolve these questions, manage expectations, and inject confidence into their visitors, or their "buy now" buttons will look like black holes threatening to suck shoppers' cash into the ether.
A basic (and powerful) thing you can do is provide a visible, simply worded, and easy-to-understand return/exchange policy near your "add to cart," "checkout," and "buy now" calls to action (CTAs).
This sounds like a no-brainer, but we're often surprised by those who fail to do this. Of course, almost all sites have a return/exchange policy, and many of them do actually link to it. Macy's is a great example. One could indeed argue that the "easy returns" link is near the CTA. But let's not confuse near with visible:
Compare Macy's with eBags, which places its return policy link directly to the right of its CTA:
EBags links to a convenient pop-up that doesn't take the user away from the process. The only thing more preferable is to have such a simple, powerful customer-centric return/exchange policy that it needs little to no explanation.
Gift Return Policies
The "it's the thought that counts" mindset isn't as popular as it used to be. In fact, ShopperTrak predicts that December 26 will be the sixth busiest shopping day of 2007. That adds up to a lot of returns. It also means that by establishing a gift return policy, you have the opportunity to build a new relationship with someone other than the original buyer, expanding your customer base. This also means upgrade and up-sell opportunities.
Here's how a few of the big boys are handling gift returns and exchanges: Apple, Amazon.com, and Wal-mart all speak to gift buyers.
Obviously, people expect a gift return policy from known brands, but what if you aren't an established brand? It's even more important for you to clarify your policy.
Customer-Centric Return and Exchange Policies
Fine print is the enemy of customer centricity. It's the opposite of company transparency. Most companies write return policies to protect themselves. Most returns go into the "loss" column (restocking, factory return, etc.). While trying to minimize loss is indeed a noble cause, it's often difficult for anything customer-centric to come out of such a one-sided goal.
Instead, look at your gift/return policy as a word-of-mouth opportunity, and assign advertising budget to make the policy as liberal and customer friendly as possible. After all, you want to look beyond a single transaction to a long-term relationship. Our experiences show that more liberal return policies lower return costs. Reduced time explaining adversarial policies and less customer-hassle time can translate into lower customer service costs and even more repeat sales and upgrades.
The return/exchange desk at your company is part of the overall experience; don't relegate it to some lame policy.
Your Turn
What are you doing for your gift recipients this holiday season?
Are you charging them petty return shipping costs that irritate them and waste their time? Are you fine-printing them into keeping something they don't really want? Are you letting them get angry before you do anything to their benefit?
Or are you wowing them, finding ways to exceed their expectations and letting them see those policies at the POA?

A comprehensive list of tools for search and weibo automation in China.
Online marketing in China involves search engine marketing through search engines and social marketing through social media sites. Search engine Baidu offers high volume of search traffic that you need and social media site/tool Sina Weibo has been the center of buzz in China's Internet world. Before you jump right into search marketing and social media marketing in the Chinese market, follow these three steps when planning your actions: trend research, keyword research, and process automation. Let's go through the list now.
Trend Research
Trend research allows you to better understand Chinese Internet users' intent and what they are most interested about. As the number one Chinese search engine, Baidu has been collecting the most user intent through its search box. In return, Baidu provides these trend research tools: Baidu Index, Baidu Data Research Center, and Baidu Top Searches.
Baidu Index: It is the equivalent of Baidu's Google Trends in China. Baidu index shows you search terms' volume by the timeline of your choice from geographical regions, by gender, by age, by occupation, and by education level. It also tells you the media's attention to your search terms with news that have mentioned the search terms.
Baidu Data Research Center: Offers trend reports by industry for download.
Baidu Top Searches: Provides top 10 searches in real time and in other different categories including entertainment, people, and life by demographics (gender and age).
You may also want to verify trends by using tools from other search engines: Google, Sogou, and Soso.
Google Insights for Search: Needless to mention, this is a great trend spotting tool provided by Google. Google Insights lets you search via search terms, geographical regions, and time frames. You can even filter your searches by verticals (web search, image search, news search, or product search) and select from 27 industries.
Sogou Hot Searches: Provides the top 10 search terms in different categories including today's news, weekly hot topics, etc.
Soso Top Searches : Features the top 10 search terms for categories including websites, pretty ladies, handsome guys, songs, books, people, movies, TV shows, and sports.
Keyword Research
Before launching your SEM campaign either in Baidu's paid search system, Phoenix Nest, or Google AdWords, you need to set up keyword lists that are suitable for your business. Both Baidu and Google provide keyword research tools.
Google Keyword Tool: For each keyword that you run a research on Google's keyword tool, Google gives you up to 100 related new keywords with numbers in competition, global monthly searches, and local monthly searches, by keyword match types and by geographical regions. You can even enter a URL and the keyword tool will return 'keywords' from within the web page.
Baidu Keyword Tool: It works similar to Google's keyword tool except that you are required to log in to a Baidu Phoenix Nest account before you can access the tool. For each keyword that you run a research on Baidu's keyword tool, it will return new keyword suggestions by daily search volume and by competitions. You can even filter keyword suggestions by geographical regions within China.
Process Automation
Google and Baidu provide AdWords Editor and Baidu Editor respectively for you to manage your daily search engine marketing operations that may involve keyword, ad, and campaign manipulation.
With social media for microblogging, you can use tools that will allow you to automate your social media/buzz marketing on Sina Weibo: FaWave, ShowOne, Hearwide, and Baidu Box Computing.
FaWave add-on: This add-on is a Chrome extension that works on the Chrome browser. It allows you to send weibo messages (Chinese tweets) on multiple weibo platforms at the same time such as Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, Douban, Kaixin001, Renren, Google Buzz, Twitter, etc.
ShowOne: With this weibo management tool, you can write your weibo messages and then schedule your messages to be sent out. The tool only works with Sina Weibo.
Hearwide: It lets you search for images/photos, merge multiple photos into one GIF image, and send the image with your 140 Chinese characters as weibo messages.
Baidu Box Computing: Baidu's concept of 'box computing' offers you a weibo form right within Baidu's web search results pages. All you need to do is to search for the 'right' keywords. However, the form only allows you to broadcast weibo messages to Tencent Weibo, Sohu Weibo, and 163 Weibo - no integration yet with Sina Weibo.
Pro Rank Tracker is a cutting-edge ranking tracking tool for keeping you up-to-date with all the latest changes in the rankings of your websites and videos.
Gordon Choi has paid search experience in Google AdWords and Baidu since 2003; Yahoo/Bing since 2002 and SEO and web analytics experience since 2005 across China, Asia, U.S., U.K. and Australian markets. He gathered China Internet experience through working in-house at Ctrip.com and Alibaba.com and now specializes in setting up SEM/SEO strategies, managing online campaign operations, and implementing web analytics solutions for clients.

CHICAGO (AP) — Raheem Sterling scored in the fifth minute in Liverpool FC's 1-0 victory over Olympiacos on Sunday at Soldieer Field in the International Champions Cup.
Liverpool FC beats Olympiacos 1-0 in Champions Cup
Sterling beat goalkeeper Balazs Megyeri with a leaping, right-footed half-volley from the center of the box to the bottom right corner in Liverpool's Pool B opener.
Gevorg Ghazaryan nearly tied the match for Olympiacos (1-1) in the 49th minute with a rocket off his right foot from the top of the box, but the shot squarely hit the bar and caromed off mark.
Olympiacos had a chance in stoppage time, but Andres Samaris' right-footed shot from just outside the box was knocked away by Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones.
Liverpool will face Manchester City on July 30 in Yankee Stadium. Olympiacos finishes pool play Aug. 2 against Manchester City in Minneapolis.

Seasoned nurses frequently resign from their positions due to burnout. An innovative idea that could support nurse retention is nurse sabbaticals. Balanced scorecards with strategy maps can display financial benefit, positive customer experience, and operational and human capital development required to initiate and sustain a professional nurse sabbatical. A balanced scorecard with strategy map is an effective tool that demonstrates connection between the organizational mission and the outcomes of a nurse sabbatical program.

Books must show: IN STOCK at your desired location for same day pick-up in stores.
We recommend calling stores that show low stock numbers.
"Corneila Funke's writing never ceases to cast a spell on me, and her newest novel, RECKLESS, serves up a sumptuous fantasy world beyond a magical mirror. Older brother Jacob must save his younger brother Will from a curse that's turning Will to stone, but what kind of bargain must Jacob strike to save Will? Brilliant twists, dark forests, high stakes and a desperate quest await readers of RECKLESS (and this bookseller is crossing fingers for a sequel very soon)."
— Sarah Todd, Children's Book World, Haverford, PA
* "Masterful storytelling."
-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"This adventure-driven fantasy...will have readers turning pages."
"The intricately described, lushly developed other world is stunning."

The triumphant banger is loaded with giant beats, lush synths and some incredible brag verses from both Kelly and Yeezy. Seriously, these vocalists go so well together that we're wishing for some sort of modern Best of Both Worlds situation to emerge.
Check out "To the World" in its entirety below.

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus.
You must go through several steps to get hired at Micro Focus. A smart person might ask how many candidates there are, and whether some are internal to the company. Based on the answer, consider how much effort you would like to apply. A recruiter from the company will screen you, then you will need to pass a behavior exam and an intelligence test of sorts. Neither is too long and frankly as for the intelligence thing, it really doesn't apply to the job requirements -- at least not to the skills required for the job I applied to. Then you will be screened by someone from HR or the recruiter, then have a phone or in person visit with a hiring manager and then usually a second interview after that again with a hiring manager and maybe even with a panel where you must present a case and answer questions and explain why you want to work at the firm. Microfocus is a good company but I think they could use some help in some areas of their business including interviewing. And some fresh eyes within parts of their business would not be all bad either. Not sure where they are headed because the hiring manager would not/did not discuss it at the interview, and the panel group avoided it altogether. Some of the people in the panel interview were arrogant and it was obvious from body language -- detaches is the best way to put it. Others are very approachable.
Interview Questions
- none were difficult; very textbook like, nothing original. Why us? Why you? What do you have that someone else doesn't have pretty much sums it up. Some interviewers were unprepared and seemed to be going through motions without any interest in answers given. Not sure why. Guess they just weren't that into me. But when you go the distance you expect them to as well. It's the professional thing to do. Answer Question
Helpful (1)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Troy, MI) in June 2013.
Initial Interview was with the recruiting firm Pareto Law(from UK). There was tremendous follow up and communication throughout the whole process. I was then invited to an all day interview event at the Troy office with 33 other individuals. We received immediate feedback afterwords.
Interview Questions
- If you have been in sales for 8 years why are you looking for another firm? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Troy, MI) in June 2013.
I was contacted by a recruiter who then asked for a phone interview where I was given a personality assessment. Be sure to be yourself entirely because it is all they look for. Once passing that, they flew me to Michigan for an assessment day full of group activities and a 3 minute presentation you must be prepared to give in front of members of the board of executive directors. They will drill you with questions and make you prove that you want to be a part of their company. They are extremely friendly and are looking for someone with a ton of personality and that will fit in with the team. The interview process is pretty brutal, but the way they treat their employees from day one shows the integrity behind the company.
Interview Questions
- What is it about micro focus specifically that would make you want to work here over any other sales job? 1 Answer
- No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Troy, MI) in June 2013.
This is a very unorthodox interviewing process. A recruiting firm in the UK will hurriedly try to qualify if you are "worthy" to be interviewed face to face. If you pass that, they herd you into a room full of bright eyed naive 20-somethings all looking to make 7 figures their first year. They then take you through a strange psychological group test (lifeboat scenario) & stranded in the desert. All this is going on while executives with clipboards are all judging and observing you silently. Once that is through, they pile about 50 people into a room and pick you one at a t time to present in 3 minutes to the executive cabinet (yes, the CEO) why you should be selected. It feels like you are on an episode of American Idol. They really grill you, so be prepared to answer some tough questions.
Interview Questions
- What makes you think you will be successful here, how do you know? Answer Question
Helpful (1)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Troy, MI) in May 2013.
Applied online, got an email to call. I called, for a two part extensive process. They begin by verifying education and why you got in sales. Then they ask the usual questions, what are your plans in three years, why do you think you'll succeed here. If you failed at a quota, what would you do to correct it. The usual based on prior history, when you did exceed at a position, do you work well with others. After the ~30 minute interview, they tell you if you qualified to move on or not. Keep your answers clipped as possible, that was the one critique of my own interview. Have energy, relate to your interviewer. They eventually will tell you the next stage is a in-person interview that's just as comprehensive. They're not kidding when they say they want the top %. I saw many veteran sales guys walk away shaking their heads. Mock sales pitches, sales strategy sessions. They test your ability to formulate sales pitches/plans on the fly. Stay calm, confident and assertive and you'll do fine. Being nervous is expected, but staying confident and assertive will help you gain their confidence. If you "pass" the secondary test, they'll tell you same day and the job process begins.
Interview Questions
- Your three main weaknesses as characterized by friends or colleagues Answer Question
None. Flat offer of salary + commission after paid training.
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Micro Focus.
Nice process from HR onset to face to face. A bit nervous, but quickly put at ease.
Interview Questions
- Be prepared to answer relevant questions and demonstrate skills. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Rockville, MD).
Recruiter called first and asked several qualifying questions - background, past experience and expectations. Referred to hiring manager who did initial telephone interview, then in person interview. Once past that stage, spoke with another employee and finally in person interview with management at second level. Also had to undergo extensive psychological profile with review from the outside company conducting the profile. Then got the offer.
Interview Questions
- There weren't any unusually difficult questions. Some of the psychological questions were a bit strange; I think due to the differences in culture between UK and US. Can't remember the most unusual one. There were a few. Answer Question
No room for negotiation. Was in line with my expectations so accepted. Sent offer in mail, discussed via telephone (with US home office HR); signed and returned.
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Rockville, MD).
The process has been handled by internal recruiters. The process was not seemless but overall a good process.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Rockville, MD) in January 2012.
Quite quick and professional -- Screen call and then call with hiring manager followed by HR screen and 360 with a number of group members and potential direct reports. Entire process was less than 21 days. Waited for positive background check and was offered and in the system within a few days.
Interview Questions
- Highly experienced based -- ie. Explain how you have resolved conflict in past Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Micro Focus (Atlanta, GA) in May 2011.
Met the hiring manager at the Atlanta airport. He was very nice and asked me a few questions about my position at Seagull Software (now Rocket Software). It was very informal and I was hired within days.
Interview Questions
- What kind of jobs did I perform for Seagull Software. 1 Answer
Very brief. I asked for a certain salary and it was granted.

A masterpiece of historical fiction, this is the Great Novel of America's "Greatest Generation".
Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.
Also listen to War and Remembrance.
©1971 Herman Wouk (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Wouk's real genius lies not just in the narrative power of his books, but in his empathy with the people and the times of which he writes…. The genius of The Winds of War and War and Remembrance is that they not only tell the story of the Holocaust, but tell it within the context of World War II, without which there is no understanding it." (The Washington Post)
"I am enjoying it."
I have recommended it, but most think it is too long, and would be too slow.
Escaping from Warsaw after the German invasion.
Not sure
"Should have listened to the preview!"
I love long books especially historical fiction so I couldn't wait to start this book. After the first 30 minutes, I had to switch it off. Please believe me, this is not something I do easily as I hate to waste money. However it was so utterly boring and difficult to follow that I just could not continue! I had trouble following the storyline and connecting with the characters. Had I known, I would not have wasted my credit. Who knows - I may go back to this one again and give it another try - it's unlikely though.
Through the eyes of a naval family we are taken to Berlin, London, the Kremlin and the White House where we get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes in world dramas. One family member marries a Jew hence we also get a thorough look at the attempted genocide of the Jewish citizens who come under the sway of the Nazis. The author also attempts to show us a history of World War II from the point of view of a German historian.
The Narrator's stulted rendition takes a bit of getting used to but the story is so riveting this can be forgiven.
A great story and a wonderful way to absorb history! I didn't want the book to end.
"This is the new gold standard"
I regret all my previous five-star ratings and reviews. Nothing is as good as "The Winds of War." Except perhaps, for its sequel, "War and Remembrance." The plot lines are intricate. The characters are conflicted; right and wrong are constantly pulling at them. The backdrop is World War II. Author Herman Wouk puts everything together and the end result is literature's greatest historical novel(s).
But the greatness does not end with the writing; it does not end with the story itself. Narrator Kevin Pariseau also brings his art to new heights. Not only does he give each and every character a distinct voice, he gives those voices depth of emotion and maturity as the story unfolds. His women's voices actually sound like women speaking. And when the novel calls for singing, he breaks into perfect song. A tour de force of voice acting.
You cannot go wrong with "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance."
"Read it now I have heard it"
Written before the fall of the Soviet Union it interesting to hear some of that old ideology about communism and the Soviet Block states. For those of you under the age of 55 it an interesting introspective of how your parent viewed the world. Remember also that a flood of historical documents have been released from both the Soviet Union and the USA which strengthen arguments for WWII, or at least clarify the reasons.
"Narrator Loses the Battle of this War"
I willl never listen to another book by Kevin Pariseau. This was so awful, I wish I would not have wasted the credits. Quite a disappointment because I had waited for years for this book and the sequel from Audible. John Lee or George Guidall should be the narrator. I will not be purchasing the sequel.
I read both books years ago and watched the mini-series. I liked the history.
The narration runs together. Cannot tell when a description ends and the
"Historical Fiction at it's Best"
This is a great book for anyone interested in the history of WWII. This and it's sequel War and Remembrance are the best historical novels I have ever read or listened to. That being said these books are a bit soapy but the narrative is strong all the was through. Kevin Pariseau does an excellent job. Other then Scott Brick he is the best story teller I have heard in 15 years of listening to audio books ( use to live in Houston, TRAFFIC, 2 hour commute a day!!!) He really brings the characters to life. Highly recommended!!!
"Boring -- adds nothing to our knowledge of WWII"
A challenge for anyone writing a story based on historical facts and events is that the reader essentially knows how it will end; the key to success, in my humble opinion, is to illuminate some unknown, intriguing, or original aspect of that history that will add to our appreciation. Winds of War begins by raising two interesting (although hardly original) questions: how could a civilized country like Germany descend into such madness? and, how did Hitler get away with it for so long? (in Wouk's telling, the Allies didn't get their act together until the Nazi invasion of Norway). Unfortunately,once raised, the story doesn't explore these questions in any depth, which is a shame. Winds of War unfolds as a kind of Greatest Hits of WWII narrative (the Holocaust! the Blitzkrieg! Pearl Harbor! the A-bomb!) from the perspective of Navy Captain Victor Henry and his family. I had trouble working up any interest in the Henrys and their entourage; the characters are shallow and one-dimensional. "That Churchill fellow gave a pretty good speech last night" is about as deep as it gets. One thing that troubled me no end: neither Henry nor his annoying wife, Rhoda, ever question the morality of their living in the SS-appropriated home of a Jewish family that is clearly destined for Auschwitz.
About mid-way through Winds of War, it occurred to me that plunging into a good, general history of WWII would be considerably more interesting than Wouk's fictionalized version--not to mention the many great works of fiction set during that time period (two of my favorites are Erich Maria Remarque and Irene Nemirovsky) that plunge the reader into a Europe turned upside down and force us to confront that most disturbing of moral dilemmas: what would YOU do in this situation? would you act any differently? And there are so many fascinating, real-life stories from WWII that can't be topped by any fiction (read Studs Terkel, The Good War). Winds of War just doesn't measure up, I'm sorry to have wasted an audible credit on it.
"great historical novel"
Its not my usual genre but I found it entertaining and absorbing. I felt like I knew how things were back then. The characters were well written and complex.
"Digestible History - Thanks"
While unbelievably long, detailed, even mundane at times, this book is the best way imaginable to digest the history of the era leading up to America's entry into World War II. Herman Wouk's work is amazingly detailed, and provides so many different perspectives into the global climate that produced "the winds of war." My parents were of the WWII era, I lived one year in Germany (1968), and visited Pearl Harbor, and I was a history major in college. This book is real, humbling, eye-opening and passionate. It is a perfect summation of all I have read, heard, and seen of the juxtaposition of people, places, and politics that forever changed the World.
After weeks of having Mr. Wouk and Mr. Pariseau (who is nothing short of brilliant) in my car with me - I'm looking forward to more by diving into "War and Remembrance".

text: Next Jaguar XJ: A Hybrid Of Rapide And XFMark ArnoldFiled to: Jaguar XJSpy Photos2011 Jaguar XJ2010 jaguar xjJaguar XJRJaguarjagxjXjr8/26/08 12:15pmEditDeleteInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissBlock for jalopnikHideShare to KinjaGo to permalinkDo not be deceived by the looks of this Jaguar XJ prototype. Like every XJ since the middle ages, it has whimsically droopy styling, but according to NextAutos, that old skin will soon be shed. They say the next XJ will combine an Aston Martin Rapide-like profile with front-end cues from the current Jaguar XF — though expect a proper boot in the rear as opposed to the Rapide's hatchback. If all that isn't enough to bring the old cat leaping back into relevance, the XJ may also be going green. D-Type LeMans racers may be the first things that come to mind when you mention a green Jag, but rumor has it that a hybrid drivetrain is being considered for the next supercharged V8 XJR model, allowing it to appeal to a different sort of green-minded buyer. The rest of the range would consist of V6, V8 and turbocharged diesel engines. [NextAutos]18ReplyLeave a reply
